cd vendor/extensions/globalize2_paperclipped
git checkout -b <branch-name> origin/<remote-branch-name>

Configuration

For installation and configuration of Paperclipped and Globalize2 Extensions read their release notes.

Being based on these two extensions Globalize2-Paperclipped needs to be loaded after both of them.

1

config.extensions = [ :paperclipped, :globalize2, :globalize2_paperclipped, :all ]

Usage

You have the possibility to change the locale either on the assets index page, or on the asset edit page. As for the Globalize2, changing the locale using either options will change the locale for the entire application.

Available Tags

  • See the “available tags” documentation built into the Radiant page admin for more details.
  • Use the <r:assets:if_translation_asset /> and <r:assets:unless_translation_asset /> tags to render the asset only if/unless it is translated
  • The <r:if_assets /> and <r:unless_assets /> tags render the contained elements only if/unless there are translated assets for the current locale.
  • The <r:assets:each /> tag cycles through all the translated assets attached to the current page. You can force the tag to cycle through all attached assets by setting the locale attribute to false

Compatibility

Tiny Paper

The Globalize2-Paperclipped Extension provides compatibility for Globalize2 and Radiant Tiny Paper. You only have to be careful about the extensions load order:

1

config.extensions = [ :paperclipped, :globalize2, :tiny_paper, :globalize2_paperclipped, :all ]
